Here is a quarter that we pulled out of the washing machine...who knows how long it was in there!

Just received this coin today. It's from the Amphipolis mint (Macedonia), dated between 305 - 297 B.C. during the reign of Kassander, one of many generals who struggled for power after the death of Alexander III (the Great).

I've always liked the old silver certificates but have switched to collecting world banknotes recently.

Here's a George II farthing that's probably been hanging around North America since before Independence.

Still playing around with this old bank bag.

I posted this in another thread but thought I'd post it here as well. The coin is an 1857 Flying Eagle Cent and the knife is a 1965-69 Case Mini Copperhead.

The Flying Eagle cent are very cool. Only minted for 3 years I believe.

Very nice coins and knives guys. I'll try to get some pics when I'm able visit home.

Bladenoobie1, I blame you for sparking my new interest in ancient coins.

Where does a guy get a coin like that!? Very cool! The knife ain't half bad neither!

MiKe B very kindly sent me a bundle of interesting coins on Friday. Here's one from his home and one from Austria. The Böker Whittler is just hanging around looking for cutting work - another parcel if it's lucky!

Thanks, Will

Finally got the chance to visit home and take pictures. Next set of photos will probably be another month from now.

Pictured is a 1965 50 Centavos from Bolivia

Just got this coin today. It is from the rule of Lysimachus (360 – 281 BC), an officer of Alexander the Great, who became king of Thrace in 306 BC. The helmeted head of Athena can be seen on the obverse.

A story popular in Roman times told that Alexander once punished Lysimachus for an indiscretion by locking him in a cage with a lion. Lysimachus killed the beast by tearing out its tongue.
